review 1: You can always expect a great story from author Jodi Thomas, and her story, "Crazy Callie," is just excellent. This short story features a spunky heroine, a lawyer-turned-ranch owner, and a love story that will just delight readers. Thomas creates a lovely romance that has a bit of spice to it as well. I loved it and I think you will too! Jo Goodman's offering, "Nat Church and the Runaway Bride," is a fun, lively story that was just a joy to read. I love the setting, taking place nearly entirely on a private rail coach, and I loved the characters - Ned, a dime novel hero, and Felicity, the opinionated gal that falls for him. Lots of humor in this tale as well as lots of sparks! Kaki Warner's story, "The Scent of Roses," wraps it's romance in a intriguing mystery, also s... moreet on a train. Lots of fun bantering back and forth between the two main characters, and plenty of lively action as well. The surprising ending will charm readers. Alison Kent's tale, "The Hired Gun's Heiress," is a lovely story about a headstrong society girl who is determined to make her own way in the world, and the man who was hired to find her. The adventure that Maeve and Zeb find themselves embroiled in is dangerous and exciting, and the romance that sparks between them is heartwarming. All four of these Western-flavored short novellas are a lot of fun to read and would be just perfect for warming up a chilly winter's night. I highly recommend it!
review 2: This was a great way to read a sampling of authors in the same genre. I am already a Kaki Warner fan, but had not read the other authors. So naturally, I started with her story, and immediately fell in love with the characters and their hilarious back-and-forth banter. By hilarious, I mean laugh-out-loud. Two strangers, thrown together on a train, both suspicious of the other's motives, but yet falling in love. Warner is a master at creating believable settings through her extensive research, and she has set up a complicated scenario in this short story. I wanted to keep turning pages, but at the same time, I didn't want to arrive at the end that quickly. The book is worth it for The Scent of Roses, especially for Kaki Warner fans. I enjoyed the introduction to Jodi Thomas through her story, Crazy Callie. Also a very strong read that I could not put down. I loved the sweet relationship that bloomed from this marriage of desperation. The other two stories were good, although at times I had trouble understanding the emotions of the characters. They seemed inconsistent, and I wasn't as drawn in. I would definitely read more of both Thomas and Warner. less
